21. We have a toxic food supply

I am old enough to have seen the transformation from the 70s to the 80s.

I remember the 70s, people didn't watch what they were eating and they didn't exercise all that much either. Running was more of a niche back then. Gyms and fitness clubs weren't even a thing save for maybe in California. Heck, most high school sports didn't even have weight lifting programs. But people in general were skinny. Most people didn't even know what dieting was until Weight Watchers came about. Most people just ate basic meals and were healthy.

It was the food supply. The industrial food industry took off and with little regulation poisoned our food supply in the name of profits. From added sugar, to preservatives, it was all in pursuit of bigger margins. And now we have a population who, through no fault of their own, are sick, obese, and blame themselves for all of it.

I refuse to believe for a minute that people today have less self discipline than people in the 70s and before. People then just didn't have to worry about diet and exercise as much because they weren't being poisoned by our food supply.
